Find experienced child care providers in Elgin, MN

Hi there! I'm a recent graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and am now a Doctor of Physical Therapy student. I’ve been babysitting and nannying for over 10 years, caring for children from 6 months to 15 years old. I also have experience coaching kids (ages 2–16) and working with adults with disabilities (18+), which has given me a strong foundation in patience, adaptability, and empathy. In addition to childcare, I'm a certified personal trainer and nutrition specialist, so I love encouraging healthy habits and active play. I'm CPR/AED and First Aid certified for infants, children, and adults, and always prioritize safety and well-being. Outside of work, I enjoy being outdoors, staying active, baking, and spending time with my many nieces and nephews. Whether it’s helping with homework, getting involved in sports, or just relaxing with a good book or movie, I love being a positive role model and supportive presence in children's lives. I'm excited to bring my energy, experience, and care into your home—and I look forward to connecting with you!

Hey! 👋 I’m from Brazil and graduated in Occupational Therapy in July 2023. I’ve always loved working with children, and during my degree I studied child development, which really shaped the way I care for kids. I’ve been working as a nanny since 2024, mostly with babies in their first year, and I truly enjoy this stage — it’s amazing to be part of their growth and routine. I’m patient, calm, and I like helping families keep a good routine. I also enjoy cooking and keeping things organized. I really believe that caring for a child also means supporting the parents and helping the home run smoothly — everything is connected. I’m also a Christian and have volunteered with kids at church for years, which is something very meaningful to me. If you feel like we could be a good match, I’d love to talk ❤️

I am a nurse for 2 years and BLS certified. I love being a sitter because I love to give mom and dad a deserve break to be themselves. As a kid I would babysit my mom friend daughter and baby. Then in my family there is 6 kids and I would babysit the young ones.

Hi! I’m Emily, a stay at home mom to a sweet boy (born February 2025). Becoming a mom made me realize how much I love caring for little ones, and I’d love to support another family who needs reliable, loving help. My son would be with me, and he’s the happiest, most easygoing little guy. Kids usually love having another little friend around, and it creates such a fun, calm vibe during the day. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and comfortable with all ages. I can care for your child in your home or mine, whatever feels best for you. I’m also available for last minute needs, snow days, school closures, and backup care when life gets unpredictable. As a fellow mom, I know how much it helps to have someone you can count on. I keep things warm, safe, and fun, following your routines, your parenting style, and what works best for your family. If this sounds like the kind of support you’re looking for, I’d love to chat! ❤️

Hi, I’m Ellie! I’ve been babysitting since I was 13 and have experience caring for children from newborns through middle school. I’m a registered nurse at Mayo Clinic and truly love working with kids and planning fun, engaging activities. I have reliable transportation and a clean driving record. In my free time, I enjoy baking, reading, traveling, and spending time with friends and family!

I was inspired to become a nanny because I’ve always had a natural love for working with children and watching them grow. Seeing how much of an impact a caring, supportive adult can have on a child’s development motivated me to pursue this path. I enjoy creating a positive, safe environment where kids can learn, play, and feel valued. Building strong connections with families and being someone they can rely on is incredibly rewarding to me.
